You can help people rebuild their lives. Volunteers are at the heart of our work 365 days a year.

Community Shelter Board opened a new center with multiple shelter programs – Van Buren Center – to address the growing numbers of men, women and families experiencing homelessness. The center is operated by YMCA of Central Ohio, and their most critical ongoing need is for volunteers to either serve the meal or underwrite food costs. Consider becoming a dinner sponsor or a dinner host.

Community Shelter Board receives support from the City of Columbus, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, the United Way of Central Ohio, The Columbus Foundation, Nationwide Foundation, American Electric Power Foundation, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State of Ohio, and many other public and private investors.
